This is one of my favorite restaurants in LO! Unassuming from the exterior as it is located in a…read morestrip mall off State St, you step inside to a sophisticated space with a nice mix of traditional and modern Italian style. The restaurant is separated into three distinct spaces. You enter into the middle room, which has some seating, a large pizza oven, several display cases of food and desserts and a coffee bar. Heading past the coffee bar into the left room, there is a modern space with bright natural light and a classy ambiance. This would be my choice for a fancy date or special occasion. It also seems less busy on that side, at least to me. Perfect for a lovely conversation in the company of someone fun. The room on the right is a little more dim, and has the appearance of a lounge. There is a bar with several whiskey bottles on display, and plentiful seating. When I visit the restaurant for lunch, this space often isn't used for seating so maybe it is dedicated for events or overflow. The prices are definitely very high. The bathrooms are clean and parking is very easy out front. This is definitely not a place that I would go unless it was for a nice occasion, but the service is outstanding and the food is really spectacular. I hear they have a back patio that is available seasonally and I can't wait to check it out soon!

We snagged a last min dinner reservation the night before Valentine's Day! The restaurant is very…read morenicely decorated and looks like a great date spot. I ended up getting the special which was the buttered noodles with truffle and the soup which was a minestrone. The noodles were good and the soup was decent as well but be forewarned a bit spicy. The arancini was 10/10 sooo good- a must buy! Unfortunately the service was not good at all. We had a male older server that was extremely rude. He cut us off while ordering and wouldn't allow us to order drinks and food at the same time... after spending $200+ in one dinner you have a certain expectation for service and that was missed. We asked if he would be willing to split the bill into two separate transactions (which he didn't want to do) and then made a comment about if we split the bill down the middle "it would have only made a $10 difference".

The parking lot is easy to access and the store flows well. The prices are higher than average. I'll never do all of my shopping here. But I like the aesthetics of the displays and I like that it's a local business. This particular spot has above average customer service as well. A great place to stop if you need fresh flowers or a delicious pastry or baked item. The coffee bar is actually pretty decent and their produce is pretty legit. However, I've always found that the wine selection is what makes it most distinctive. Definitely a specialty grocery store but a place worth checking out and visiting every so often when you feel like a special treat for yourself or someone special. Happy shopping!

The quality is consistently high, meats, cheeses, bakery, and especially the wine selection all stand out. It's an easy place to put together a last-minute dinner that still feels impressive, whether that's grabbing a great cut of meat or leaning on the ready-to-eat options. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but you're paying for selection, freshness, and convenience. Staff are helpful and friendly, and the store feels calm and organized even when it's busy. Not an everyday grocery run for most people, but an excellent spot when quality matters or you want something special.

The only thing I've tried so far on the menu that I wasn't crazy about were the ribs. While the berry bbq sauce was delicious, the meat itself was tough and difficult to eat. It's the only miscue I've seen so far in a half dozen meals here. Otherwise, this place delivers. Some nice local beers on tap and other local offerings available by can. Can't beat the location either. Great place to sit on the patio adjacent to the plaza overlooking the lake or catch a game at the bar inside. Great for families, drinks with friends or a casual date night. Service has been consistently good. Recommend. (4.25 stars).

The service was good, nothing to right home about, and the price is on the spendy side, but overall I would love to go again!

OK, so the fries were not as crispy as we'd like but that's not a dealbreaker. The space is great, the upstairs is nice and woody and warm, with a patio overlooking the street giving it a Euro vibe.

The bartender (a more mature fellow) was casually talking to someone, not serving him - standing in the restaurant talking. No one acknowledged we were there - or they would come back in a min. There were obviously plenty of people working a gal was putting candles on tables etc - we waited TEN mins to even have someone come over and give us a menu. The bartender seemed irritated at my question of did they have a pinot gris in the happy hour menu. "no, only chardonnay". And, when I asked for a taste - also seemed to irritate him. The food is great here - that is without question, which is why we went. And, it didn't disappoint. However - receiving the bill - there is a weird ADDED $1.25 for a "Hosting Fee"... Hosting Fee??? what the heck is thattttt. (if you google it will tell you that it's for 'helping the employees' basically) What? Then, I had gotten a regular non-premium martini. It says in menu Well Drinks are $8. A regular martini is just their well vodka and should be that. The charge for the martini was $12.00! Never going back - the service was lously. They are padding their prices and I can get much better treatment (and pours) at Five Spice or Tucci!

The plain croissant was unfortunately a miss for me--but the bacon & egg papillon was OMG delicious... so much so that I ended up buying three. No regrets!!! The Versaille, Tiramisu, and Marionberry cheesecake were all delish and absolutely worth trying. We also tried the beignet rocher, marionberry cheese croissant, everything-but-the-bagel croissant, peach papillon, and the kouign amann apple--so many fun options, and overall a great stop if you love pastries and want variety. Service was a little hit-or-miss. The first time I visited, the server seemed a bit grumpy - especially while I was placing a larger order, but on my return visit, a different server was noticeably friendlier... maybe because my order was a little smaller
